Thankfulness

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John F. Kennedy

With November, we are in the season of Thanksgiving, both literally with the holiday and hopefully figuratively as we do pause to remember why we are and should be thankful. And we see this taking form in social media as people do spend the month listing the reasons they have to be thankful.  Oh, if we used social media for this purposes, we would never run out of posts and we may have a much brighter outlook on this world.

Instead of the somewhat usual Top 10 post for a Saturday, I've decided to split out the post over the coming days leading into Thanksgiving, outlining the Top 10 things that I'm thankful for.  An opportunity to expand on the topics in greater detail and to pause and reflect on each one.  Further a way to maintain that thankful spirit in this appropriate time.

Tomorrow will have a date appropriate post for Veteran's day and I'll start the list on Monday, with a post on the the number one thing I'm thankful for.  The If I Were Disney CEO and other series posts will go on pause until after Thanksgiving.

In this time of thanks, what are you thankful for?
